FSF Calls for Quicker, Clearer 5G
Safety Measures
Citing
confusion surrounding the 5G rollout, the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) called
on the FAA and wireless carriers to definitively identify which U.S. airports
are affected by the 5G implementation in C-band, saying it was concerned
about “the disjointed approach taken to resolving potentially significant
aviation safety issues."
According
to FSF, the FAA and the wireless carriers need to cooperate on a definitive
plan so accurate and timely guidance and/or restrictions can be released for
aircraft operators. Further, the association urged the FAA to accelerate
identification of which aircraft types will be approved to perform
low-visibility landings at the affected airports. FSF reminded that the 5G
implementation affects more than just large airports and air carriers, but
also operations at smaller community airports and helicopter operations.
“The
unclear and sometimes conflicting restrictions and notices on 5G near airports
are creating confusion globally and have led to disruptions and cancellations
of hundreds of flights,” said Conor Nolan, chairman of the FSF board of
governors. “It is imperative to expedite mitigations and approvals, clearing as
many aircraft as possible to operate without restriction at airports.”
